Toohey Forest Environmental Centre Nestled in the ground of Griffith University is the Toohey Forest Environmental centre which the Grade Seven classes visited in July.

A really enjoyable task was to use solar energy to help run some amazing constructions such as racecars, Ferris wheels and merry-go-rounds. Even though it was a fun activity-filled day, we all learned about how we can better use and care for our natural environment. Here are some photos:
